(Good) Free App of the Day: Color Uncovered!

Sure, everyone knows why a dog can't drive, but even if they could do you know why they shouldn't color-wise?

Today's Free App of the Day has 946 five-star reviews in iTunes! It's an app for younger children to work on with an adult or older children who can read on their own and are at least somewhat self-motivated learners. There are no ads and no in-app purchases. It's just straight free.

My seven-year old recently discovered that I had put this on the iPad and explored it front-to-back, spending a great deal of time with it...including putting a drop of water on the screen?!?

From iTunes:

Explore the surprising side of color with Color Uncovered, an interactive book that features fascinating illusions, articles, and videos developed by the Exploratorium.

How is Monet like a honeybee? What color is a whisper? Why is it so hard to find your car in a lamp-lit parking lot?

Color Uncovered features a wide spectrum of cool color-related topics to explore. Learn why friends shouldn’t let men buy bananas. Try your own color experiments on the iPad using simple items you have at home: a CD case, a drop of water, and a piece of paper. Discover how the iPad and other devices create color. Find out what causes afterimages—and more.

Color Uncovered was created at the Exploratorium, the mothership for people with major cases of curiosity. Visit us online at www.exploratorium.edu or in person in San Francisco, California.
